tl;dr; - author complains about Messaging app crashing and heating the phone up to about Discourse Kelvins. And then complains about stickers being too easy to use. So, of course, you have to do it! Conclusion: don't update your phone because GIFs in Messaging app.

I can already see the entire flamewar cycle happening in front of my eyes. I'd actually just copy the entire article and claim it's my post, but I don't have an iPhone to help me continue the fun, and googling for screenshots of it is hard work.

I updated as soon as I could and have noticed some battery life issues. It reset all the app permissions I'd configured in iOS9 so everything could update in the background. It was a good opportunity to go through and update those perms though, so I didn't really mind. As for the messages app, I can only use all that shit with one contact so I haven't bothered looking into it. Either I'm not cool enough to understand why stickers are a big deal or I'm too old, either way it's just something else I won't ever use.

@kt_ it's kinda fucking stupid because instead of saying "your iPhone is no longer supported and will not receive patches or security updates", it just gives you some shit about "software is up to date", when it's not "up to date" for the standard meaning of the phrase.

I mean, if you redefine "up to date" to mean "there is no newer software that works on your out-of-date hardware", then sure, but that's dumb.

Amen, my man!

But seriously: that's what up to date means. I have a Windows 7 installation and since July It says my software is up to date.

You're reading much too much into it. It's the newest version of the OS this phone is capable of running: the software is up-to-date: you can't upgrade it.

Windows Update? It's not exactly the same thing. Windows Update is not, and never has been, supposed to upgrade you to a completely new version of Windows. It just installs patches and upgrades to the version you're using.

That iOS thing is where you go when you actually want it to upgrade to the newest version of iOS. It'd be nice if it'd at least say that you are not using the latest version because it can't be installed on your device.

Never? There's a reason I said since July.

@kt_ I always find it funny when people say I have privileged as a white man, I worked at McDonalds when I was 16 and stacked veg at Tesco for 8 years while getting my degree and I an still paying debts from that time (almost over thank god :D). I worked for every single penny I have. My parents just now are comfortable financially.

The colour of my skin does not give me more privilege. Money does, and social status, looking clean and tidy, dressing with clean clothes etc ... all of those will make you less likely to be stopped by police. None of them has anything to do with someone's skin colour. Do you go to a job interview in your pyjamas? No because you would look like an idiot from first impressions.

How many of those people stopped because they were "DWB" as you put it was driving through high crime areas? Of course the police are more likely to stop you if it is high crime.

Also if we are going to do the stopped by police game, police in our area will stop you if you are driving an older car with any cosmetic problem. That isn't because they are targeting poor people, old cars are easier to steal and tend to driven badly by joy riders. Do I have a privilege over joy riders, because I bother make regular repairs and services on my car?

I've never been stopped for DWB. The only times I've been stopped are twice for speeding (17+ over the limit and the only car on the road) and once for expired tags. This is in well over 20 years of driving, both older and new cars.
